Addenbrooke's Hospital accelerates cancer treatment planning with AI

Addenbrooke's Hospital (Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust) · Medical imaging · Microsoft

Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge became the first hospital in the world to implement Microsoft's InnerEye AI toolkit for cancer treatment planning. This AI system, trained on the hospital's own imaging data, automatically highlights tumors and healthy organs in patient CT scans, significantly expediting the contouring stage required before radiotherapy. The solution, developed in partnership with Microsoft Research Cambridge over eight years, allows clinicians to review AI-generated contours, reducing manual effort from hours to minutes while maintaining expert oversight. InnerEye is open source, hosted securely on Microsoft Azure, and its use aims to improve survival rates by enabling prompt radiotherapy. The AI's assistance frees up clinician time for more value-added tasks and ensures data security and regulatory compliance within the NHS.
